PitchForce

Next PitchForce: July 22, 2015

SCHEDULE:

6:15-6:30 Top five startups are announced to pitch, remaining companies pitch for their lives

6:30-8:15 Top 6 companies pitch to the distinguished panel

8:15-8:30 Networking

Here’s how it works: PitchForce is a monthly fundraising event for companies in software, social, mobile, big data, consumer web, finance/payments, clean tech, biotech or medtech sectors. Ten companies are chosen each month to participate, each will have a demo table to showcase their company as well as network with Angels, VCs, and guests during the first hour. Attendees will then vote for their favorite companies, and the top five will get to present to our distinguished panel. The panel then votes on a 1-5 scale and the company with the highest score wins a meeting with our sponsoring VC firm and a Keiretsu Forum Academy Scholarship valued at $1500!

Please email alex@peopleconnectstaffing.com with any questions. We look forward to working with you!

"PitchForce lit the fuse for Evena! We were able to present to a large crowd of mostly well qualified potential investors. Received valuable feedback from panelists which we are implementing to improve our value proposition. Thanks in part to PitchForce, Evena is now raising the funds for the final step in the rollout - we are now taking our product to market."

Jason Lane

"PitchForce is a wonderful opportunity for entrepreneurs who want to get in front of a large room and pitch for resources. Very well organized, helpful team, and experienced panelists. The mixed format is great, because they give you a chance to do a personal demo, a1min pitch and a 4 min presentation. So glad I was able to participate."
